I imagine it's more a build-design issue that a plastic one, or it wouldn't just impact these three sets. I noticed the hips joints are built differently on these three than the first wave. Might be it's not as stable as they'd have preferred.

 

I’m hoping they’ll be eventually released in stores after the final products are redesigned.

 

aw i wanted that wolverine one

 

Me too, buddy. Me too.  

 

Shit I needed that iron man one

 

I'm sure they will re-work the design and release them later, especially knowing how positively fans reacted to these (especially Wolverine).

 

Fixed that for you.

 

Found an almost whole set at the nearest Walmart.

Well if anyone was still concerned about that UCS AT-AT assembly (that looked as if it wouldn't be able to be taken apart), LEGO apparently disagrees, so I'd be surprised if anything changes or they issue a "fix" for it.

LEGO responds to claim that AT-AT can't be taken apart

Here's a video too where someone shows how he gets it apart, for future reference.

 

Well, there’s always hope.

I ordered a second one because only 4 reindeer was starting to look incomplete to me. Will make a modded 2nd sleigh just for fun, if I can find the time.

Lol, came here to say the same about Santa's Sleigh. I signed up for the back in stock notification. Just ordered two to get a full set of reindeer. Dunno if I'll try to combine the two sleighs into one big one or parts bin the second.

 

Build it as an alternative sleigh? Give him a futuristic looking sleigh that does not require reindeers, has a cockpit, more control surfaces, flight stick, and enclosed cargo area.

 

Yep I'll be getting this book of the shelf for some inspiration.  

Sleigh is OOS again so hopefully some of you guys were able to get it!

 

Hmm...more power, you say?

 

PSA of the day: That survey from the back of the instruction manual that says you could win a LEGO set for filling it out isn't lying.

So, my husband brought me the Hogwarts Astronomy Tower set a few weeks ago and I did the survey on a whim (I usually skip out on them). Few days later I get an Email saying I'd won the drawing and I just had to fill out some info and email it back.
Fast forward to today and I'm checking my email again and sure enough, they're sending me a set: The Bad Batch Shuttle.

 

Dooo iiittt. Put rocket boosters on the back of the sleigh if you have to. Then post pics.

 

No shit!? Thats awesome!!!

The astronmy tower is sweet by the way, probably the best build out of the 4 main builds of the castle.
